I love working with the world’s top enterprise leaders to pioneer and embed systems that ignite resilient growth—for organizations, teams, and leaders. In 2025, I founded and launched The Board of Life™, a revolutionary system that aligns leaders with their highest commitments, accelerating both personal and professional transformation. The Board of Life™ provides a structured approach to decision-making, execution, and accountability, ensuring leaders operate at their full potential. It is the next evolution of high-performance leadership—not just coaching, but a whole-human growth system that makes success repeatable. Large enterprises are now leveraging the platform, ApogeeOS, for their teams to make identity-level transformation in just 90 days. (The impact is incredible!) Before this, I co-founded Bionic, where we built and scaled The GrowthOS™, a system designed to install permanent growth capabilities inside Fortune 500s. In 2021, Accenture Song acquired Bionic, embedding our methodologies, tools, and AI platforms for larger enterprises, making it their most successful acquisition to their history. The GrowthOS™ radically accelerates an organization’s ability to discover, validate, and capture growth opportunities at scale. I co-authored New to Big with Christine Wallace (HBS) to share the GrowthOS™ model and its impact. Alongside my side hustle—writing—I’m also the co-author of the New York Times bestselling series The Intellectual Devotional and The Startup Playbook, and an investor in over 150+ startups over the last two decades. My latest AI-native startup, PreMortem, is coming out of stealth in July with TED 2026 attendee, Lauren Vriens (find us to learn more!
